If we need to call "lent" on discussion a well established fact like the holocaust then we're doomed.  Up is down, black is white, all fact and truth are irrelevant.

I was not alive during the Holocaust, nor have I ever been to Germany.

So I only know what I have experienced.

But the overwhelming quantity of media on the subject seems to indicate something happened....

Oh, and the fact I actually knew someone with a tattoo on their arm... yeah, there’s that...

If you mean because of the Internet then I agree with that.  I asked an astronomy question on Quora and an actual astronomer answered it.  That kind of direct access to information and expertise is amazing.  On the other hand, since anyone can put anything out there a lot of fringe people are finding and supporting each other.

Holocaust deniers sure, but also every other brand of idiocy like homeopathy, magic rocks, antivax, neonazi's, etc.

        my recollection of Professor Butz was I had a friend who kept

        Were you in the same class as I was?   We had the same
        professor, I think..  Drove me off the deep end...  Specially
        when he blocked the equations with his body as he erased!!  
        But we had this one other assoc-prof..   Name of Jim Clark.. 
        He was wild, specially when he went into game theory and

        later...

                            Wow this thread blew up while I was sleeping.

                            I'm proposing both a wireless and fiber
                            solution. I'm sure they'll pick WiFi
                            because it'll be cheaper, but I wanted to
                            put all the cards on the table.

                            As far as why I'm bothering to propose fiber:

                            1) If there's fiber to the power pedestal,
                            and each ped (or every other ped) has it's
                            own little router with it's own SSID and
                            key, then there's a security benefit vs
                            having everybody in the park be able to
                            sniff traffic from each other's devices.

                            2) We could track any illegal/bad/weird
                            activity to a specific RV site (or at
                            least to the proximity of one).

                            3) The changing positions and occupancy of
                            RV sites won't affect anybody's WiFi
                            because their WiFi will be right next to
                            them no matter what.  Neither will the
                            growth of trees hurt them.

                            4) No capacity issue in the park (and the
                            feed TO the park can of course always be
                            upgraded).

                            5) Infinitely upgrade-able.

                            6) We have all the equipment and personnel
                            and we want to use them.  There's an
                            indefinite amount of work for them
                            expanding and improving our own network,
                            but if they do it for the campground we
                            can bill them out.
